This module provides the framework for development of the core competencies necessary for leadership in the context of broadening engineering excellence and design ingenuity.

The module presents the processes in engineering design, mechanisms for developing personal and team leadership styles; addresses differences in learning and personality styles; provides pathways for implementing mission statements and plans of action; and offers opportunities for strategic thinking, problem solving and brainstorming; and utilizes teamwork in diverse settings for societal and k-12 service learning.

The technical foundation of this module is centered upon the process of engineering design and implementation of ingenuity projects in collaboration with the Lawrence Hall of Science (LHS) and our engineering student group called Berkeley Engineers and Mentors (BEAM).

The project at LHS is entitled “Ingenuity in Action” and offers opportunity for implementation of projects that teach the engineering design process. Pedagogy skills include principles of education/teaching styles and levels of learning.
